A structured interview questionnaire, the Revised Impact of Event Scale, Numeric pain rating scale, and Coping Strategy Inventory scale were used in data collection from October 2019 to April 2020. Results: The study findings showed that 95.9% of studied patients display symptoms of PTSD, 47.9% of them had either severe or moderate pain, 65.8% of burn patients were coping with the trauma of burn injury used disengagement coping strategies. Coping strategies are negatively correlated with post trauma stress disorder (PTSD) (r=-0.257) and pain (r=-0.244). Meanwhile, PTSD had positive correlation with pain (r= 0.378).
